Last shots from 2014
It was hard to get out of bed for sunrise over Christmas, instead I finally managed one last sun set shoot to close out my photographic year. Happy New Year!!

Shooting rocks…
On the seafront near where I live there is a cliff walk with interesting rock formations I’ve been trying to do justice for the last couple of years. To be honest most of the time I amble across these rocks I’m leaving the beach or cliffs after earlier shots and have missed the best light.Â

A good start
This year ended well for me photographically, with the above image receiving an IPF Judges Medal in the landscape category in the recent 2nd Cork International Salon of Photography. I received 8 acceptances from the 12 images I submitted. So after only two months of entering FIAP salons I have received 38 acceptances which puts

A winters tale…
I never planned to subject a model to a cold shed this winter, but when Raphaella was in town, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to see if outside temperature of 1Ëšc was going to render my studio unusable. I think Raphaella is still talking to me:-) Heater’s were used for a few hours before the

Liquid Gold
Sometimes the sun just won’t dance! This morning I had the pleasure of being up before 5:30am to drop my daughter off EXTRA early, so I decided to bring my camera and grab a seascape before work. After the storm of the night before and a clearing sky I was sure I’d have a few

Christelle…
I had the pleasure of hosting and shooting with Christelle last week. Christelle is from Quebec and was starting her month long Euro tour in Ireland last week. I had no real ideas about the shoot, but it wasn’t long before Christelle was making suggestions about outdoor locations and capturing some of the Irish landscape.Â

More Panel thoughts
I’ve always thought Landscape and Seascape panels are more challenging than most because of the lack of control over the environment we have. The challenges should be essentially the same as any other panel subject; theme, continuity, balance, engagement, so why do I think it’s more difficult? Maybe it’s just a selection process I struggle

Fredau
Today was an exploration of colour with Fredau. Natural light and my trusty 50mm 1.4 all afternoon.  More images to follow… Fredau
